There was dead silence in the villa. Old Master Crawford was frowning while keeping quiet. He knew in his heart that it was pointless to hide Luke’s driver's license. If Luke insisted on obtaining a marriage license with Bianca, he would find a way to get his driver's license. He had always wanted an arranged marriage for Luke, just like he did with Zachary. Old Master Crawford believed in business interests rather than true love. However, Old Master Crawford was acutely aware that Luke was not like his cowardly father. He was strong and assertive, not at all as easy to control. Moreover, his grandson was king of the corporate world. Meanwhile, Old Master Crawford was getting weaker as time passed. Old Master Crawford eventually warmed up to the idea. He believed that Luke would be more responsible after he married Bianca. Luke and Bianca had three children together, so if he continued to object, that would only lead his grandson to rebel! Given the s
At home, in the bedroom. The light-colored curtains were blowing in the night breeze, and the temperature tonight was a bit cooler. Bianca looked at Luke who was smoking on the balcony with a frown. Since she got pregnant, he had quit smoking at home.Bianca knew that he must be in a bad mood. She quietly walked over, grabbed the half-burned cigarette from his hand, and pinched it out in the ashtray. She looked at him accusingly before putting her arms around his waist. "You promised me that you’d quit. You broke your promise." Luke’s eyes were dark, and he hid the complex emotions he was feeling. He took off his coat and put it on Bianca, saying slowly, "Sorry, I was a little out of control today. I promise it won’t happen again." Bianca wanted to ask him about his private conversation with Allison earlier in the day as she was not sure what led to the tension between them. However, she kept her questions to herself when she noticed Luke’s
Leia drove a convertible sports car. The night breeze brushed across her face as she drove to a nightclub. Julie followed her cautiously. She kept a safe distance with the car in front, ensuring that she would not lose Leia while also staying hidden from the woman’s sight. Julie was very grateful for the limited edition sports car that Queenie gave her. Otherwise, she would not be able to keep up with Leia's speeding. Leia parked the car at the club. She threw her keys to the jockey, put on her sunglasses, and walked inside. Julie was afraid of losing Leia, so she left her keys with the jockey as well before hurrying to catch up with her... Leia arrived at an extremely luxurious VIP room. At the entrance of the room, two men in black stood guard. The door opened, and Julie, who was hiding in the corner, saw more than 20 men and women inside. It was unsightly. On the crystal table, there were blocks of well-packaged white powder. Se
The next day, T Corporation. It was lunchtime. Bianca and her colleagues went to a restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was on the second floor. Through the large transparent glass windows, she could get a bird's eye view of the beautiful scenery outside. Bianca ordered fish and chips with a salad and tomato soup on the side. She sat at the table in front of the window with Sue, Nina, and Julie. She began eating. Bianca no longer suffered from morning sickness so her appetite had increased as well. On the other hand, Sue was more than eight months along and almost vomited whatever she ate. "Bea, why is your appetite so good? Why can't I eat anything?" Sue was envious of Bianca's appetite. She put her hands on her cheeks and watched Bianca eagerly eat her fish and chips. Sue went for vegan food, and there was not a trace of meat in front of her. "Sue, is the baby in your stomach a picky eater? Would you like to eat some chili to suppress it?"
Luke's eyes followed the Lamborghini as it drove off. A hint of ferocity flashed across his deep eyes. When he learned that there was a man named Anand outside the office building who brought flowers to confess his feelings to Bianca, he immediately hurried over. He did not expect to be so infuriated with what he saw and decided to look into Anand. "You’re the mother of three yet you’re still so popular. Do you think I should hide you somewhere?" Luke's low voice was attractive but it was clear that there was a hint of complaint in what he said. Bianca explained, "There’s nothing going on between Anand and me. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m not even that close with him. We met a few times because of work and barely interacted. I didn't expect him to do this..." Having said that, Bianca looked at Luke's stern but handsome face again, saying softly, "I don’t know what’s wrong with Anand. I’ve told him that I have a husband..." "Silly, I don’t need an expl
Desperate for answers, Bianca pushed Luke's office door open without even knocking.However, what she saw was Mavis, dressed in a sexy V-neck suit, leaning over and whispering something in his ear.Her flirtatious side right now was a far cry from the persona of a strong woman she usually displayed in front of everyone.When she saw Bianca come in, Mavis looked at her quiet little face and smiled faintly at her. Then, she said to Luke, "Mr. Crawford, we'll finalize the tendering project like this for now. As for the details, I'll make a detailed proposal and send it to you in a few days. You can carry on with your work. I'm going to go first."After Mavis left, Luke put down his pen, looked at Bianca with a gentle gaze, and beckoned her. "Come."Bianca pressed her lips slightly and lowered her head without going over.That was because she had caught a whiff of another woman's perfume, which made her a little uncomfortable."What's the matter? You seem to have something on your m
After Jason left, Bianca looked at Sue who was close to breaking down and helped her sit down on a chair outside the restroom.Taking out a tissue, Bianca wiped the tears from the corners of Sue’s eyes and asked with concern, "Sue, what on earth is going on with you and Mr. Doyle?"Sue reached out her hands to cover her pale face and threw her head back to push back the tears. "Bianca, I really don't know what to do..."Although she and Bianca had only known each other for just over a year, their relationship was more than just that of colleagues. They were sisters who could talk about anything.However, there were still some things she kept to herself. She had been bottling it all up inside of her that she was now confused and helpless without a clue what to do next.Although she had many friends around her, she had no one to confide in except Bianca."Sue, you can tell me anything. Did Mr. Doyle bully you?"If he did bully you, I'll have Luke teach him a lesson!"Sue could se
It was almost time to leave work.The conference room in T Corporation. There were 20 or so people in the conference room. There were a mix of older and younger people as well as both men and women. However, most of them were older. There were only a few young business elites, but they were undeniably T Corporation's great talents. Dressed in a couture suit, Luke sat calmly at the head of the table. The man's tall height and impressive aura made him particularly eye-catching.Everyone sat around the conference table in order, discussing business.However, except for Luke, there was a somewhat distressed look on everyone's faces.The silence lasted about ten minutes.It lasted until Jenson Zook, a gray-haired senior member of the company, finally spoke in exasperation, "Mr. Crawford, I refuse the proposal to acquire Easy. Our company is mainly involved in technology, real estate, chemical engineering, international trade, finance, and so on. Our properties have expanded everywh
